Approval status by university
Amity University OnlineUGC-DEB ENTITLED
Our initial research flagged a gap: Amity's own FAQ for this program answered only that "Amity Online is recognized by the University Grants Commission," without naming this specific program, and "Master of Arts (Public Policy & Governance)" did not appear among Amity's listed entitled programmes on the UGC-DEB's published Entitled Online list (AY 2025-26). This has since been directly verified and confirmed with the university, resolving the gap between the published list and the program's actual entitlement status.
